Political Memes

I still like their technology. Hopefully they can figure out how to divest their owner

Don't be so sure. I thought Twitter wouldn't last a full year of Musk, but it's still somehow limping it's way along.

Don't they lock during the charging process?

I saw someone charging their model x at an electricify America charging station today, right close to a Tesla supercharger. Get fucked Elon!

I thought they already switched to diapers?

Yup, scarce population and welfare states, they would benefit from a national infrastructure program they seem so opposed to.

I test drove a couple of Teslas way back in the day. You know what the big selling point was? The "Easter egg" that shows the surface of Mars on the GPS. Oh, and the James Bond Lotus one. It was at that point that I realized this was not a serious company, and it was run by a dork ass 4Chan edgelord.

I'll give you points if I get some too. Have been hating on Tesla since I graduated college and started working in silicon valley. Learned very quickly that every single engineer hates Musk and that Tesla was an awful company to work for.

I interviewed with them once and all my friends in the field were telling me not to. They basically stack their entire company with H1 visa slaves, pay them half of what non H1 employees would get, and work them to death because their visa is tied to their employer.

This is common practice in silicon valley but Tesla really took it to another level. So I've been hating them since I graduated in 2015.

Oh it's why I bought a Chevy Bolt EUV. A way better car for less money. Teslas suck in the electric car world. They opened everyone's eyes to the possibilities. But that's it. It's no longer the only option.

Yes, here is some Lemmy Points that will only apply to this comment and nowhere else :)

I thought the cars were mediocre at best and overpriced. The more I learned the less i liked them.

• Primary door function being completely electronic with a warning that using the manual release could damage the car.
• Proprietary navigation, so traffic data only comes from other Tesla's.
• Lack of lidar, which has been the standard for accident avoidance tech since forever.

I hate Apple and always thought Musk was a tool. But, apple products are better than Tesla products. Apple is still overpriced as shit, and has bullshit gatekeeping, but they make solid products, you have to give them that.

Tesla on the other hand always had absolute shit build quality.

People kept circle jercking about how great the software was, but it always thought it was idiotic.

Not having physical buttons / handles is beyond insane to me and I could never buy a car that made me jump through hoops to fucking raise the temp in the car.

Then there's autopilot, people were raving about that, but again, are you going to trust your life to a company that can't even get two body panels to match properly?

I'm for advancement and every tech has its growing pains, but musk was always a piece of shit, and Tesla's mission never seemed to be "make the best car for the consumer", it was always "what fun shit does the man child want us to play on today?"

"It's half the price, but has better specs 🤨"

Basically anyone going from USA (made in china) product to Chinese (made in china) product

I remember Tesla having decent looks compared to the other fugly electric cars at the time. The hybrids weren't terrible like the Prius but they all had that "look"

I would say its worse than Apple in those regards. At least Apple's hardware, though way overpriced, is decently made. I don't think anyone in the world ever said that about Tesla.
